The criterion for the numerical solution was evaluated by setting the maximum goals for PPAP and ATOP with different importance values while the other variables were in their range.
As shown in Table 2, after stratifying the model according to DDAVP use (that is, presence of suspected CDI), hypernatremia did not bear any additional prognostic information in the presence of CDI (hazard ratio = 0.58; P = 0.57), while retaining its importance in the other instances (hazard ratio = 4.20; P = 0.004) (P = 0.060 for the test of the difference between the two hazard ratios).
A value of nine is assigned to a particular criterion if its importance over the other is absolute while the other criterion gets the inverse (1/9).

The M0418 construct demonstrated a reactivity profile in which residues P59, F62, P63 and K65 were most critical for the interaction; I56, G61 and Y66 were of intermediate importance while several others, for example, S57 and E60, were less important.
One of the landscape factors stands out as of general importance – oak density in the surrounding – while the others (amount of forest, water, houses and arable field) had no effects, or weak effects on only some species.
